Yeah, well done for standing outside for 2 minutes and having your photo taken. Now, what are you going to do to keep it open? Fuck all, is my prediction.

Meanwhile, Philp has spent the last few weeks bickering with Emily Benn and the Labour council leader Tony Newman on twitter about the issue. I’m not sure that really influenced the decision. What it did show is that Labour and the Tories just like to play with issues for short term gain.

So to the future – keep the pool open by taxing rich people like Philp!

* It’s really a victory for the people of Purley. We now need to ensure it stays open. I remain willing to work with everyone in the community to ensure that happens. Not just now and until the election but beyond.
